Well-draining, loamy soil with good organic matter; tolerates clay if drained.
Regular watering during growing season, allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce in winter dormancy.
Full sun for best flowering and color; tolerates partial shade but blooms may reduce.
Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring before blooming. Avoid high nitrogen late summer.
Prune after flowering to remove dead wood and shape; avoid late summer pruning as it causes bleeding sap.
